election,  in  which  shall  be  stated  the  time  when  it  will  be  held,  and  the  of- 
ficers then  to  be  elected,  by  causing  the  same  to  be  published  in  a news-

notice  by  mail  to  the  judges  of  election  in  each  precinct,  to  be  posted  at 
the  place  of  voting,  at  least  fifteen  days  before  such  time.  [R.  S.  1908,  p. 
612,  sec.  2144.] 


CITY  REGISTRATION  NOTICE 

The  county  clerk  shall,  by  advertisement  in  a daily  newspaper  of 
general  circulation  in  such  city,  give  notice  daily  for  ten  days  prior  to 
the  beginning  of  registration,  to  the  effect  that  registration  will  be  had

is  requisite  to  inform  the  electors  of  such  registration.  [Laws  of  1911, 
p.  362.] 


NOTICE  OF  CANDIDATES  FOR  PRIMARY  NOMINATIONS 

Each  county  clerk  shall,  at  least  ten  days  before  the  September 
direct  primary  election,  publish  once  in  two  newspapers  of  general  cir- 
culation, representing  the  two  political  parties  that  cast  the  largest  and 
next  largest  vote  at  the  last  preceding  election,  under  the  proper  party 
designation  and  under  the  title  of  each  office,  the  names  and  addresses 
of  all  persons  for  whom  nomination  papers  have  been  filed,  in  so  far  as 
the  same  shall  affect  the  electors  of  his  city.  The  same  publication  is 
ordered  by  city  clerks  in  city  elections.  [Primary  Election  Law  of  1910.] 


LIST  OF  NOMINATIONS 

For  at  least  six  successive  days  before  an  election  to  fill  any  pub- 
lic office,  the  county  clerk  of  each  county,  or  the  city  or  town  clerk  of 
each  town,  shall  give  notice,  in  not  less  than  two  nor  more  than  four 
newspapers  published  within  the  county,  of  a list  of  all  nominations 
to  offices  certified  to  him  under  the  provisions  of  this  act.  Such  pub- 
lication shall  contain  the  name  and  residence,  and,  if  in  a city,  the 
street,  number  of  residence,  and  place  of  business,  if  any,  and  the  party 
or  other  designation  of  each  candidate,  and  shall  be,  as  far  as  possible, 
in  the  form  in  which  such  nominations  shall  appear  upon  the  official 
ballots.  In  the  case  of  municipal  elections  such  publication  of  the 
names  of  candidates  for  municipal  offices  shall  be  made  in-  newspapers 
which  are  published  within  the  municipality  where  the  election  is  to 
be  held.  One  of  such  publications  shall  be  made  in  a newspaper  which 
advocates  the  principles  of  the  political  party  that  at  the  last  pre- 
ceding state  election  cast  the  largest  number  of  votes,  and  another  of 
such  publications  shall  be  made  in  the  newspaper  which  advocates  the 
principles  of  the  political  party  which  at  the  last  preceding  state  elec- 
tion cast  the  next  largest  number  of  votes.  The  county  clerk,  in  select- 


27 


ing  the  respective  papers  for  such  publication,  shall  select  those  which, 
according  to  the  best  information  he  can  obtain,  have  the  largest  cir- 
culation within  the  county.  For  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  which 
paper  published  in  said  county  has  the  largest  circulation,  the  county 
clerk  may  require  a sworn  certificate  showing  the  number  of  bona  fide 
subscribers  to  each  newspaper.  In  making  additional  publications, 
county  clerks  shall  keep  in  view  the  object  of  giving  information  as 
far  as  possible  to  the  largest  number  of  voters  of  all  political  parties, 
and  in  no  event  shall  such  additional  publication  be  made  in  two  news- 
papers representing  the  same  political  party.  The  county  clerk  shall 
make  such  publications  daily  in  counties  where  daily  newspapers  are 
published,  but  if  there  be  no  daily  newspaper  published  within  the 
county,  one  publication  in  each  newspaper  shall  be  sufficient.  Should 
the  county  clerk  find  it  impracticable  to  make  the  publication  six  days 
before  election  day  in  counties  where  no  daily  paper  is  printed,  he  shall 
make  the  same  at  the  earliest  possible  day  thereafter,  and  one  of  the 
publications  in  any  newspaper  shall  be  in  the  last  issue  thereof  before  the 
day  of  election.  In  counties  where  there  are  no  daily  papers  the  county 
clerk  shall  make  the  publication  at  the  earliest  possible  day  after  the 
filing  in  his  office  of  such  certificates  of  nomination,  and  in  counties 
where  it  is  impracticable  to  make  such  publication  in  newspapers  advo- 
cating opposite  political  principles  such  publication  shall  be  made  in 
the  newspaper  having  the  largest  circulation,  and  in  counties  where 
there  are  no  newspapers  published  the  county  clerk  shall  post  double 
the  number  of  printed  lists,  and  such  additional  lists  shall  be  posted  in 
other  conspicuous  places  in  different  portions  of  the  county.  [R.  S.  1908, 
p.  615,  sec.  2159.] 

Whenever  a proposed  constitutional  amendment  or  other  question 
(except  the  incurring  of  a bonded  indebtedness)  is  to  be  submitted  to 
the  people  of  the  state,  for  popular  vote  at  any  general  election,  the 
Secretary  of  Stale  shall  duly,  and  not  less  than  fifteen  days  before 
election,  certify  the  same  to  the  clerk  of  each  county  of  the  state,  and 
the  clerk  of  each  county  shall  include  the  propositions  or  questions  to 
be  submitted  as  they  will  appear  in  the  ballot  to  be  used  on  election  day, 
in  the  publication  provided  for  by  section  eleven  of  this  act,  and  in  the

The  board  of  directors  may  sell  bonds  from  time  to  time  in  such 
quantities  as  may  be  necessary  and  most  advantageous  to  raise  the  money 
to  carry  out  the  objects  and  purposes  of  this  act.  Before  making  any  sale 
the  board  shall,  by  resolution,  declare  its  intention  to  sell  a specified 
amount  of  the  bonds,  and  the  day  and  hour  and  place  of  such  sale,  and

any  subject,  being  responsible  for  the  abuse  of  that  liberty;  and  that,  in 
all  suits  and  prosecutions  for  libel,  the  truth  thereof  may  be  given  in  evi-

or  publish  the  natural  defects,  of  one  who  is  alive,  and  thereby  to  expose 
him  or  her  to  public  hatred,  contempt,  or  ridicule.  Every  person,  whether 
writer  or  publisher,  convicted  of  this  offense,  shall  be  fined  in  a sum  not 
exceeding  five  hundred  dollars  or  imprisoned  in  the  penitentiary  not  ex- 
ceeding one  year.  In  all  prosecutions  for  a libel  the  truth  thereof  may 
be  given  in  evidence  in  justification,  except  libels  tending  to  blacken  the 
memory  of  the  dead,  or  expose  the  natural  defects  of  the  living.  [R.  S. 
1908,  p.  538,  sec.  1761.] 

All  actions  for  libels  shall  be  commenced  within  one  year  next  after 
the  cause  of  action  shall  accrue  and  not  afterwards.  [R.  S.  1908.  p.  1029, 
sec.  4062.]
